Suppose an economy's production function is Y = AK^0.5 N^0.5 . Suppose K = 400 and A = 1. Calculate the demand for labor,
when the real wage rate is 2. (Hint: rewrite the function with K and A values and take the derivative to get the MPN. Then use the optimality condition to get the number of N.)

8. Suppose that the production function is Y=5K0.5N0.5. With the production function, the marginal product of labor is MPN=0.5K0.5N-0.5. The capital stock is K=30. The labor supply curve is NS=100[(1-t)w]2, where w is the real wage rate, t is the tax rate on labor income, and hence (1-t)w is the after-tax real wage rate. a) Assume that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals zero. Find the equation of the labor demand curve. Calculate the equilibrium levels of the real...
1. Suppose that I give you an aggregate production function: Y = AK^(1/2)N^(1/2) a) Suppose that A = 1 and K = 4. Derive the labour demand curve. b) If the labour supply curve is: w = (1 − t) √ N^s Solve for the equilibrium real wage and full employment level of employment when t = 0.75.
